There should be something more emphatic than just one thumb up for your video! I just loved it. Ive taken a number of classes that involved soldering over the years and watched videos as well, and yet never been taught in the clear concise way of your little 7 min video on how to choose surfaces to solder on. I loved the pins in the honey comb to hold your work, and the trick of marking the blocks copper on one side and silver on the other is a trick I will adopt as well. Thank you so much for sharing

Best soldering surface I've ever seen. Wonderfully informative ?
Should be called "Everything I Wanted to Know About Soldering Surfaces, But Had No One to Ask."

[@PatEvansDesigns]

Wow! Best info ever on soldering surfaces! Thank you so much.

A very informative video. I particularly like the tip about scoring a groove into a charcoal block to set jump rings into when they need soldering closed. I am about to have to do quite a lot of those, so this tip has come just at the right moment!

What do you use for pins into a soft soldering or magnesia block?

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hello, T Pins are always helpful for this purpose when soldering. Have a good day!

When I attempt to ball up scraps of copper on my solderite board, the balls seems to 'stick' to the board and bits of the solderite become embedded in the balls when taking them off the board. Should I be using a different type of soldering board?

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hi Robin, when balling up scraps, use the charcoal block. The metal does not stick to the charcoal. Thanks for the question!

Are you selling jewellery tools e.g rolling mill machine manual how much?

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hi James, we sell many jewelry making tools, but do not selling a rolling mill. We do sell textured metal that has already gone through a rolling mill. You can find it here: www.cooltools.us/Textured-Metal-by-Metal-Type-s/1902.htm
